Agreed, my point was more that if going in after the fact to change things it to me has not proven to be a huge ordeal.  I just did a couple of projects last month and it boiled down to just some mass find/replaces.  Neither of those used any sort of Init() when I got in there.

Which is why it's better from a maintainability perspective to wire up
your CFCs to a configuration service (whom they can then ask
"configuration" questions). Forcing the construction of an object to be
dependent on the type of configuration it needs is a very brittle
architecture IMO. At the bare minimum always pass in a config
object/bean/struct/whatever to init(). I prefer a no-argument init() and
a setConfigService(service) method. Keep in mind that this architecture
also supports runtime changing of configuration (without
re-construction) - as long as your objects always ask the ConfigService
and don't store any data locally.

Or I could be crazy...

Changes are that if "tomorrow" it needs to require an initialization the
initialization will also require some arguments.  I do not see how the
change with not already having the Init() is any different vs already
having
it, still means a mass find/replace and so long as the coding is
consistant
either one would be simpe enough to change IMHO.
